A few days ago I shared some of the GOOD parts of our recent trip.
If you missed the post you can see it HERE.
Now for The BAD and the UGLY!
The Bad...
I really hate road trips!
Normally, anything more than a two hours drive you'll find me booking
a flight. What in the world possessed us to drive 2800+ miles from Virginia
to the Florida Panhandle and then on to Orlando? We had our six year old
grandson with us and I must say he handled the long trip much better than
I did. The only whining and complaining was coming from me!

The Ugly
Don't let this innocent face fool you.
This is six month old Lilly (AKA Cujo ). Steve and I both love dogs and we
were looking forward to watching our son's two puppies while they vacationed
in Miami. We had no clue what we were getting into!
Lilly was upset her mom and dad left her and she spent the entire first
evening barking. After a sleepless night we awakened to her fury. There
were chewed up shoes and Legos, torn paper towels and several piles
of poop on the carpet. Our son told us Lilly was trained and never has
an accident in the house...yeah right. This was just the first of many.
The next day we took both dogs on long walks and to the dog park to play. Lilly
jumps over the wall and heads to the lake. A white dog and mud do not mix well.
One day she escaped out of the dog park. After a long and frantic search of the
neighborhood for Lilly, a neighbor finds and returns her.
Like idiots, we decided to take the dogs to my dad's house. Two hours round trip and
we had to leave after only thirty minutes, before the dogs did further damage. I won't
even talk about the over-turned plants and Lilly's car sickness.
Below is Lilly's accomplice, Max.
Just a few of her many stunts was grabbing Steve's chicken right off his
plate while he ate. She pulled everything off the counter tops and chewed up the
packages. She was acting like a crazy dog, running as fast as she could through
the house and jumping from one piece of furniture to another. She is not allowed
on the furniture and when we tried to stop her she would get right in our face and
bark continuously. The last night she even snapped at me and our grandson. The
destructive behavior and constant barking were really working on our nerves.
After three days we threw in the towel and she went to Doggie Daycare.
Steve and I had one wonderful, peaceful day!
When our son and DIL arrived home they could not believe what we were
telling them about her behavior. Of course, She has never done any of these
things under their care! They said she was angry because we didn't let her sleep
with us.
We left Orlando the next morning as Lilly lay calmly
on the kitchen floor. I swear I saw her smirking!
Hugs,
Sherry
